FilmPolska 2014 – Camera art: Jacek Petrycki & Jakub Kijowski

This year again, FilmPolska, the biggest Polish film festival in Germany, is focusing on the art of camera work. We are delighted to welcome the two camera auteurs Jacek Petrycki and Jakub Kijowski to Arsenal. Jacek Petrycki has been active since the 1970s and has become one of Poland’s most famous cameramen. He has shot many feature films with directors such as Krzysztof Kieślowski and Agnieszka Holland; but his main focus is on documentary cinema, in which he has set new standards with over 100 films. By comparison, Jakub Kijowski is still at the beginning of his career; however he has already demonstrated great sensitivity and clarity in the imagery of his first works.
